I have a BA in studio art. I've been working and living and traveling. I paint, mostly in oils. I love making and talking about art and talking about life. I want to know what you think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious about meeting people from around the world and learning about other cultures. I also know what is means to be broke. I need ways to travel cheaply and I want to help others do the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My favorite band is Iron Maiden, but I appreciate most music. I like hearing music I've never heard before.

Movies/Books: Anything with dragons, aliens, zombies, super-powers, monsters, etc But also documentaries on history and art and artists like "Loving Vincent" or "Struggle:The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski." I also love anime, the kind with really amazing animation like the Studio Ghibli films, or Akira. The 90's Ninja Turtle movie also has a special place in my heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built a 6-foot-tall mushroom out of wood.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basic lessons in drawing, painting, guitar, cooking.

I'd love to learn anything you care to teach. Some things I want to know more about are: Anything about art and art history, history in general, cultures of other continents, philosophy, psychology, storytelling, wood-working, electronics, game-design

I'd love to share ideas on anything concerning art, painting, guitars, philosophy. Also anything in standard nerd culture: anime, video games, comic books, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My favorite thing to share is my art. If you want a portrait drawn, I'm always looking to practice my drawing. I also have some baking and cooking skills.
